Learning in health and wellbeing ensures that children and young people develop the knowledge and understanding, skills, capabilities and attributes which they need for
mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing now and in the future.

regularly revisited through a wide range of relevant and realistic learning experiences to ensure that every child and young person is progressing in his or her development
and learning.

Appendix Explanations
These provide definitions of terms or advice on particular experiences and outcomes.
Introductory statements
Resilience
The development of resilience or coping skills is particularly important to young people as increasing numbers are
struggling through school and life with social and emotional needs that greatly challenge schools and welfare
agencies.
A resilient child can resist adversity, cope with uncertainty and recover more successfully from traumatic events or
episodes.
Physical wellbeing
Physical wellbeing refers to the knowledge, skills and attitudes that we need to understand how physical factors
affect our health.
Physical wellbeing HWB 0-18a, etc
This applies to all kinds of travel whether on foot, bicycle, motor vehicle or public transport. To support the
reduction of road accidents, it is the responsibility of all adults to teach and encourage good road safety practice
and to reinforce this by modelling appropriate behaviour.
Particular attention should be paid at times of transition, especially during the transition from primary to secondary
school, where there is a significant increase in road traffic accidents.
Emotional literacy
Being emotionally literate means having the ability to identify, understand and express emotions in a healthy way.
